It was to pass through Naivasha anyway ... on the way to Malaba, Kigali and Kampala. All they have done is to expedite the construction of that particular section.
As for the construction cost, there are so many variables and I would not rush to claim people are "eating" since I do not have access to BOQ's. I have no clue how railway construction costing is done and the closest I have been to a Railway is a railway crossing on the highway.
We need to ask questions but let us not conclude they have eaten till we have the details.
